I guess reading 'Everything you ever wanted to know about sex (but were afraid to ask)' cover to cover two or three times might have done the trick. I'm not really sure when I became 'sexually aware'. Swimming pool? Forget it – put on a bathing suit in a public locker room? Could I have my teeth drilled instead? Through school I avoided sports and even phys ed classes – largely to avoid being naked, or even the risk of being naked in a locker room full of other kids. Even getting undressed for a medical exam was a traumatic event. I was always a modest as a teenager, not wanting to be seen naked by anybody who absolutely didn't have to see me.
